HO HO HO

Today was the annual Employee Benefit Craft fair at work. It seems just like the economy - the fair had less shoppers than previous years. It was still successful - just noticeably low key. Rissa hung out with plenty of folks and SANTA... Rissa is so difficult to get a good photo of... I must have 100 pictures of her with Santa and 99% are bad... Brenin another therapy dog was there too...

November 29th

The girlz got a walk around the Shore Path in Bar Harbor today and then got to stop in one of their favorite stores! Tomorrow, Rissa will be the "rein-dog" with Santa at the Employee craft fair.

Bed race

Rissa unexpectedly walk in a parade today. OB girls entered a bed in the bed race today (I covered and was patient care so Ellen could RUN/PUSH) - All the girls walked in the bed parade - not only the "team" that pushed the bed - I had Rissa with me SO, she marched and wagged along Main St. downtown Bar Harbor!

This photo was the night time training session - pre decorations. Will post later a shot so you get the whole idea. A fun chamber event to bring people shopping in town.

Friday 11/13

All 3 girlz went visiting today. Rissa did the hospital. Timber went into Safe Harbor at the retirement village and Jillian saw the folks on Pleasant Cove (assisted living) - not many folks to see as 6 of em were on a field trip to the VFW playing BINGO!

Wednesday 11/4

READer dog in Somesville resumed. Only a few kids came... 1 got her book for a filled bookmark(she had 8 left over from May!) I had to tell Tremont school that I won't be coming this semester for READer dog... it would be a high risk situation for me to be at school (which is now being invaded by the swine flu) and bringing what I picked up there to work... Newborn babies and moms are especially susceptible... a few of the docs I work with thought it would be wise to wait until after the holidays to resume Timber at school...

Halloween

My first and maybe only trick or treater was a Dakota as a black lab. The girlz gave him many kisses - and they didn't try to eat his candy!

Friday 10/30/09

Took all 3 girlz visiting today. Rissa went into the hospital. She saw many patients (2 remembered her from before) - she got many belly rubs from staff! I took Timber into the Memory unit to see those folks and then switched and took Jillian upstairs to the assisted living floor! No one was available to visit on the second floor ( 2 moved, 1 was out on a pass, 1 passed on and 1 was sick....) so, I took Jillian into the Memory unit to visit those folks again - thought they may not remember I was just there with a different colored dog - and they didn't!
